VS2019 Xamarin Forms Remote IOS simulator Black screen - How to fix?

Xamarin Forms Project
Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.9 Xcode on Mac version 12.4 Using IPad Pro 11 inch running 14.4 as the simulated device and IOS version. ( I tried other simulators )

If I build and run Simulation on the Mac, it works. So i believe it is a remote simulation issue.

Use remote simulation on Windows
If you set IOS simulator to remote it starts and appears to run the simulation in the simulator but it just shows a black screen.
Ive updated everything I can think of. Mac OS, XCODE on latest available. Visual Studio, W10, all latest available and everything restarted... Still it doesnt work. You do see brief at time of deployment dots spinner that reminds of the spinner when shutting down. How do I fix the back screen simulation. ?

EDIT: With Latest Updates, it works again. After upgrading to VS2022, upgrading Xcode on the mac. Even the simulators are now ios15.x Somewhere is all those updates the problem is gone.

  • You could have a try with Forget the Device first:

  • Next step, better need to reboot Mac .

  • Last, Pair to Mac again with Add Mac manually:

If it also can not work, maybe need to check the quality of network whether is well.
